Chapter 535 Turns out to be a trap!
The front-line camps of the two countries.
Three Generals Camp.
Military advisor’s office.
Ning Zhuo concentrated his attention, locking his consciousness on the jade slip in his hand, and constantly observing the images within.
This is the latest situation of Liu Er and others using three mechanical creations to harvest ginseng dragon whiskers.
"The performance of the Golden Scale Saw Snake almost perfectly met my expectations."
“The actual performance of the rolling electric ball cage is also good.”
"But the hammer can't take root and drill into the ground."
"In every battle, this mechanical hammer was almost always broken. Only one survived, and that was just an accident."
Ning Zhuo was thinking and talking to himself: "How can I improve the drill hammer to increase its chances of survival?"
In Shuang Jing's opinion, the cost paid by the Three Generals Camp was already pitifully low, but Ning Zhuo was not satisfied and still wanted to improve it.
To a certain extent, it was his unremitting pursuit of mechanical engineering that contributed to his continuous improvement in mechanical engineering.
Sun Lingtong said: "This is easy."
The three mechanical creations made by Ning Zhuo also attracted Sun Lingtong's interest.
In recent days, he has also been studying these things and found them quite interesting.
When Ning Zhuo was comprehending and improving the mechanical creations, Sun Lingtong also participated. In the past ten years, this situation was not uncommon.
Sun Lingtong once wanted to find his missing master, which was his biggest motivation for learning mechanical engineering.
But gradually, this motivation changed.
Sun Lingtong was not interested in mechanical engineering, he was just interested in it, but he knew that Ning Zhuo loved it from the bottom of his heart.
He himself can also feel the visible improvement of his personal skills during this process of joint research.
Sun Lingtong then suggested: "Xiaozhuo, you can design a mechanical hammer and give it to any monk of Liu, Guan, and Zhang to hold."
"With their protection, the machine hammer will be more accurate and safer, and will never be killed by the crazy ginseng dragon beard."
Ning Zhuo let out a cry and stood there in a daze.
After a few breaths, he slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? This method is the simplest and most convenient solution."
"Boss, you are still the best."
Sun Lingtong was praised in the mechanical dragon tour, and smiled, "Xiaozhuo, you are actually on the right path."
"I'm just being lazy."
"According to your idea, it would be better if we could design a drill hammer that can start and protect itself."
"This way, Liu, Guan and Zhang can at least have one hand free, and they don't have to take on this task, so they have more room to play."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Boss, although that is true, I have actually fallen into a misunderstanding."
“I can’t help wanting to use mechanical tricks to solve all problems. I enjoy the process and look forward to the wonderful feeling when I succeed.”
"But in practical matters, I may have thought too far ahead. Just like what you are instructing me now, it can be handled this way."
“It would save me a lot of time and energy.”
"All mechanical techniques are just means, and their main purpose is to solve practical problems."
"Although I like this skill, I can't forget my original intention."
"Thank you for your advice, Boss!"
Ning Zhuo had a great insight and sighed, "I often hear that some people read too much and become bookworms. If I delve into mechanical engineering and become too rigid, I'm afraid I'll also become a mechanical engineering nerd."
Sun Lingtong laughed: "Xiaozhu, I just said it casually, but it's great that you can inspire me."
"In the past, you lived in Huoshixian City, where you were confined to a place and read a lot of poetry and books. Your life of forbearance was indeed monotonous, depressing, and a bit depressing."
"Many people think that with your talent and understanding, you should stay in one place and practice peacefully. Once you have achieved a certain level of cultivation, it won't be too late to travel around."
"But in my opinion, what do these outsiders know? It is best for you to travel around now."
"You may not realize it yet, but from what I've seen, you've changed a lot along the way."
Ning Zhuo thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly: "Indeed."
“Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are the only way to increase your experience.”
"I met all kinds of people along the way. Even if they are recorded in great detail in books, they are not as vivid as in real life."
"In Wuyin Mountain, I met the local mountain god. In Wanyaomen, I made a close friend who loved drinking, and I truly felt that life could become so comfortable and leisurely. In Qianfenglin, I met Liu Er, who had great ambitions. Although he was in a lower position than others, he still worked hard."
“And the Pioneer Battalion.”
"I participated in the Iron Flow and the Plains, and I witnessed the elegance of the military strategists with my own eyes. Even though I don't know them at all, I admire them from the bottom of my heart!"
"To be so fearless in facing death... this is another kind of grace in life."
At this point, Ning Zhuo slightly raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof and look into the vast sky: "This world is so vast. So many people live and practice in this world, moving forward in their own ways. Some have great ambitions, some are content and relaxed, there is no high or low, there are thousands of different forms, each with its own beauty."
“When I met and made friends with these people, I sometimes felt humbled, sometimes envious, and sometimes yearning.”
“It’s really interesting!”
Having said that, Ning Zhuo's mouth corners slightly curved.
Sun Lingtong laughed: "Xiaozhu, I see that you are in a much happier mood recently."
Ning Zhuo scratched his head: "Yes, Boss."
"We entered the Thousand Peaks Forest to seek my mother's relics."
"Therefore, we were chased by the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator and barely escaped death. We joined the armies of the two countries and made long-term plans. We also played the role of the Stone Monster and took risks on the battlefield."
“Now, we have finally reached this point.”
"Du Tiechuan and Shenxu Dragon King fought fiercely, and both of them were injured. They were also afraid of the third-party God-transforming level monster in the stone, so it was difficult for them to attack with all their strength."
"We are now in a stalemate, with each army and each Yuanying-level and Jindan-level warrior appearing on the scene and competing with each other."
"This is a good time for us to deal with the Liudong Sect."
"Not only can I avenge my family, but I can also take back my mother's relics. We have worked so hard for so long, and finally we see hope."
"How can I not be happy?"
Sun Lingtong hummed: "Indeed."
Ning Zhuo's eyes were clear and bright, and he suddenly said: "At this moment, I feel very happy!"
Sun Lingtong: “Hmm?”
Ning Zhuo said earnestly: "I don't envy the brotherhood between Liu, Guan and Zhang at all. Because I have you, the boss."
"I can travel around the world, go on adventures with you, Boss, and always feel safe."
"This kind of lifestyle is indeed much more interesting than that in Huoshixian City."
"I can meet all kinds of people while constantly getting closer to my goal. Boss, I get stronger with you, and we fight together. Almost every once in a while, we achieve something new."
"Days like this are so wonderful! Thank you, Boss!!"
Sun Lingtong was caught off guard by Ning Zhuo's words.
His eyes were slightly red, his nose was slightly sore, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Zhuo, you bastard..."
Sun Lingtong took a deep breath and laughed loudly: "Stinky boy, don't be satisfied so easily."
"I'm still waiting for you to save your mother, so that we two brothers can explore the mysteries together and steal everywhere!"
Ning Zhuo hummed and nodded heavily: "I'll accompany you, boss!"
Sun Lingtong put her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.
Just then, the soldier reported that he had brought a letter.
It is a letter from Shuang Jingzhuan to Ning Zhuo.
In the letter, Shuang Jing invited Ning Zhuo to come out of the camp for a chat.
Sun Lingtong: "This pair of eyes must have found you, Xiaozhuo, because they saw that Liu Er has been occupying the top spot in recent days."
"This guy has plotted against you many times, and his aunt also ruined our plans in Canglin Immortal City."
"This is a good opportunity. We can tease him."
Ning Zhuo shook his head calmly: "There is no need for this."
“It’s such a waste of time.”
"I wish I could break myself in two. There are too many things to do."
"What's the point of teasing him, or even humiliating him, if it doesn't create value?"
Sun Lingtong glared: "This is a good opportunity for you to be proud. Just think about it, it will feel great to make this arrogant guy lose face and flatter you."
Ning Zhuo shook his head: "It's just a dispute of pride."
He and Sun Lingtong have different natures.
Ning Zhuo has been enduring for more than a decade. He has long been accustomed to it and taken it for granted.
It is also this kind of life experience that makes Ning Zhuo very stable and mature beyond his age.
Sun Lingtong pouted: "Xiaozhu, you are not fun at all. Life should be indulged to the fullest, otherwise what's the point."
"Besides, I'm not just looking for fun. If you don't show up and pretend to be nice to Shuang Jing, how can you delay time?"
"If you reject Shuang Jing directly like this, this kid must be up to no good and won't let you go."
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Boss, I have made arrangements."
White Jade Camp.
"Hmph!" Shuang Jing slammed the table angrily and stood up.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He glared in the direction of the Three Generals' Camp: "You don't even bother to reply to my letter? Ning Zhuo is such a proud and arrogant kid. Good, very good!"
"Don't blame me for using tricks."
Shuang Jing made a prompt decision, left Baiyu Camp and visited the quartermaster.
As he was a member of the imperial family and had a noble status, he was soon led into the study and had a secret conversation with the quartermaster.
Shuang Jing told the quartermaster the relevant situation, adding fuel to the fire.
The quartermaster seemed to understand, "So that's how it is. I was surprised that Liu Er, a mere Jindan cultivator, had topped the list for so many days. So there is such a secret."
Shuang Jing immediately said, "Liu Er is just a human-demon hybrid, his vision is too narrow. If there is such a sharp weapon, it should be handed over to the army and quickly popularized. In this way, the time our army spends plundering the battlefield will be greatly reduced, which will be very helpful to the overall situation."
"But now it seems that Liu Er is only pursuing his own selfish interests and putting our two countries behind him. If such thoughts and actions are not corrected, it will cause the public to follow suit and destroy the good atmosphere in the army. That would be very bad."
Shuang Jing looked concerned about the country and the people.
The quartermaster looked at him in surprise, thinking: Liu Er is an outsider, a newly recruited man, and it is already a rare honor for him to be able to form a new army. If he is asked to give up his personal interests and think about the country, it is really too much to ask.
He complained in his heart: The soldiers of my main army are all resting, and the time to search for spoils is just right for the generals to use. Even if the time to clean up the battlefield is reduced, the army cannot be dispatched, so what can be done? Even if Shuang Jing does not have much experience in leading troops, this is obviously a lie, and he must have other intentions.
The quartermaster narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Shuang Jing, what advice do you have for me?"
Shuang Jing immediately cupped his hands and said, "How dare I say 'give me advice'? I am asking for your help, sir. Please help me, my army and my two countries to rectify this bad practice!"
As he said that, he handed the other person a storage bag.
The quartermaster took the storage bag, scanned the inside of the bag with his spiritual sense, and immediately smiled.
"Okay!" The quartermaster waved his hand. "Master Shuang Jing's words make sense. For the sake of our army and our emperor's great cause, we, the subjects, should fulfill our duties and serve with all our strength. It is best to nip such bad habits in the bud."
Shuang Jing was overjoyed and not surprised.
With his status, it was not difficult for him to ask the quartermaster to embarrass a half-demon, a casual cultivator who had just entered the officialdom of two countries.
Shuang Jing immediately stood up and said: "It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Why don't you go immediately and severely punish the three generals!"
The quartermaster said: "You are right. Although Liu, Guan and Zhang have made great contributions, they still lack training and polishing. This time, let me teach them how to be an official."
Shuang Jing added: "The key figure in this matter is the military advisor of the Third General Battalion, named Ning Zhuo. It was he who designed and built the mechanism."
The quartermaster asked who this man was.
After Shuang Jing answered, the quartermaster was relieved: "He is just a minor foundation-building cultivator, and he is from Nandou country, haha."
"Walk!"
"Let's go now. Master Shuang Jing, please accompany us as a witness."
Shuang Jing hesitated for a moment: "This..."
As a result, the quartermaster grabbed his arm and said firmly: "Let's go together, let's go together!"
Shuang Jing had no choice but to obey.
The quartermaster selected a team of men and marched aggressively to the Three Generals' Camp, but was stopped in front of the camp gate.
Du Tiechuan was strict in his military discipline, and the price of violating military discipline was too high. The quartermaster did not dare to force his way in, so he told the soldiers of the three generals' camps to report quickly.
Generals Liu, Guan and Zhang were training their troops. After hearing the noise, they arranged their soldiers and immediately went to the camp gate.
The quartermaster was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul level. When he saw the three generals coming to pay their respects, he rode on horseback and waved his hand arrogantly, "Why don't you see your military advisor? Ask him to come and pay his respects to me as soon as possible."
Liu Er immediately bowed and said, "The military advisor is not in the camp, he is out surveying the battlefield."
The quartermaster immediately turned around and looked at Shuang Jing.
Shuang Jing cursed inwardly, "Old Fox", and could only snort coldly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm sure Ning Zhuo is in the army. This matter is of great importance, let him come quickly to be punished."
Liu Er was quite surprised and immediately said that his side was diligent, risked their lives to fight, and never slacked off in cleaning the battlefield. Their achievements were obvious to all. What did they do wrong to deserve punishment? The quartermaster said bluntly: You secretly mastered the weapon, which can efficiently clean the battlefield and help the overall situation. You should offer it, but for your own selfish interests, you put the army and the country behind.
He asked again: Are you still the generals of the two countries? Before the three generals could refute, the quartermaster waved his hand and said: "Come on, enter the camp and tie up that little military advisor and bring him to me. He is so bold that he doesn't even come to see me! Even if he is a foreigner, since he has joined our army, he should be controlled."
As soon as the quartermaster gave the order, two foundation-building monks immediately took the order and rushed straight into the camp gate.
Zhang Hei glared: "You dare?!"
The next moment, he took action directly. With two punches, he knocked down the two soldiers in the Foundation Establishment Stage, causing them to scream in pain.
Such a sudden change surprised Shuang Jing.
The quartermaster was furious and pointed his finger at Zhang Hei: "You charcoal thief, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me! You tied your hands yourself. If you let me do it myself, your crime will be even more serious."
"Bah!" Zhang Hei spat in the direction of the quartermaster.
Shuang Jing took a deep breath, not expecting Zhang Hei to be so reckless.
"Oh my." Liu Er was shocked and opened his mouth to ease the situation.
But the quartermaster was so furious that he didn't give Liu Er a chance to calm down and just pushed him away with his palm.
A palm print appeared out of thin air and flew towards Zhang Hei.
Liu Er moved sideways and blocked it with his body.
puff.
The next moment, he was knocked away by the palm print, spitting blood, and flew backwards for a long distance before falling to the ground.
The quartermaster was startled and felt something was wrong.
Then, he heard a harsh, sharp voice: "Great, what a great official power."
The quartermaster turned around quickly, his heart skipping a beat, and he forced a smile in panic: "Master Zhao, you're here!"
The person who came was the military supervisor Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi was very decisive and just waved his arm.
Pop.
The quartermaster was at the Nascent Soul stage, so he didn't dare to block it at all and just endured the slap.
He fell off his horse, staggered and almost fell.
His cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and the anger and arrogance he had before had completely disappeared, replaced by fear and awe.
"Sir, Sir Zhao, please listen to my explanation."
Bang! Another slap came down.
The quartermaster's cheeks were swollen symmetrically.
The military supervisor Zhao Xi pointed at the quartermaster and said, "Luckily I came here to supervise the army, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered someone like you who abused public power for personal gain!"
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."
"If you speak, your crime will be even more serious!"
The quartermaster became anxious and turned his head sharply to look at Shuang Jing.
Zhao Xi also narrowed his eyes and looked at Shuang Jing.
Shuang Jing's face turned pale, unable to hide his panic. He quickly dismounted, bowed his head and greeted.
The quartermaster glared and stared at Shuang Jing, anger and hatred mixed in his eyes.
Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and let Shuang Jing leave.
Shuang Jing took a deep breath, walked slowly but actually quickly, and quickly left this place of trouble.
When he had walked quite far, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Third General Camp, gritting his teeth and saying, "Great, great Third General Camp, great Ning Zhuo, they were waiting for me here!"
He had completely understood.
This time he wanted to plot against Ning Zhuo, but Ning Zhuo was well prepared and had taken advantage of the military supervisor Zhao Xi.
Ning Zhuo and others seemed to have set a trap, but Shuang Jing and the quartermaster plunged into it! (End of this chapter)
